Newly-appointed Eastern Governor Shan Wijeyalal highlighted the importance of impartiality and justice in the East due to the nature of the multi-cultural communities.

Speaking to the press, Mr. Wijeyalal had said that it would be easy to serve the people only if he puts aside his political beliefs while holding the post of Governor.
